Embody
OM1D Lyrics

The lyrics of OM1D's "Embody" reflect a situation in which the singer is reaching the end of something that was once good. The repetition of the line 'All good things must come to an end' emphasizes how the end of this good thing is inevitable, even if the singer is reluctant to accept it. The following line, 'I'm so sick and tired of tryna play pretend,' suggests that the singer has been pretending that everything is still great, even if it isn't. They don't want to fake it anymore and just want to be honest about the reality of the situation.

The song's chorus emphasizes the perfection that the singer sees in the other person. They acknowledge that this person embodies something that they find to be perfect. However, the singer seems resigned to the fact that they are not able to give this person the attention they deserve, as they declare 'Don’t even wait on me cause I ain't bothered texting.' It seems as though the singer is aware that they are not living up to the standard of perfection that they see in the other person, highlighting their own flaws and perhaps self-doubt.

The second verse is more focused on the singer's personal growth and the independence they have achieved. They state that they don't need anyone and can do it themselves. This independence could be seen as a response to the end of the good thing that the song references earlier. The lines 'Look who I've become' and 'Look at me now, yeah I'm so proud' suggest that they have grown and changed in a positive way since this good thing has come to an end. Overall, the lyrics of "Embody" are about accepting the end of something good, acknowledging imperfections and striving for growth.
